Dentist Brain Candy

The podcast is designed for the dentist who likes to learn and improve their practice. The information and content delivered is designed to help the restorative dentist move their practice forward. Each week we start off with an quote that gets the metal gears turning, a book review which will be digested for the listener over a series of episodes pulling out relevant material and applying it to the dental practice. Next an article will be reviewed from the literature and available for download. The show will close with an interesting case that I have come across. Pictures and radiographs, when appropriate will be on the website to review as well. The benefits include having a virtual dental buddy that you can listen to and “hang out with” and talk shop and grow your experience, knowledge and enthusiasm for our profession.

S2EP11: Milestone Contributions to Jaw Surgery 0
Apr 25, 2022

On this episode of Dentist Brain Candy, I cover two thought-provoking articles from the October 2021 edition of the Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. The first one, by Jeffrey C. Posnick, DMD, MD, discusses in depth the milestone contributions of notable surgeons and orthodontist pioneers in orthognathic surgery (OGS).

This article discusses the history of innovative care solutions for treating jaw deformities and how they’ve led to new treatment options, including the impact of technology in dramatically reducing the barriers to treatment.

I also discuss an article by Jordan S. Elmowitz, DMD  et al. that shares the findings from a study of the current pharmacological and non-pharmacological methods of postoperative pain control following oral and maxillofacial surgery. The study included surgery patients undergoing the extraction of third molars and the use and effectiveness of rescue analgesics.

Listen in to learn about my treatment plan to reduce narcotic prescriptions while making my patients more comfortable.
